Chapter 198: Until the End of the World
"Okay, it's settled. After today's show, I will send the lyrics, score and demo of this song to the singers who advanced tonight."
After the finale song of the charity performance was announced, director Hong Bo announced the end of the meeting.
"Xiao Lin, you are amazing. I really like the song you just sang."
Zhao Weiwei gave a thumbs up and said, "I will work hard in the competition tonight and try to sing with you guys."
"I will."
Lin Zhixing smiled and nodded, and the group stood up and left the meeting room.
"Lin Zhixing."
Wang Jiawei, who left first, called out to Lin Zhixing at the corner of the corridor.
"Sister Jiawei."
"Can you come over and talk for a while?"
"Oh, okay."
Lin Zhixing asked Dong Chen and the others to go first, and followed Wang Jiawei into the stairwell.
Wang Jiawei was afraid of wasting their practice time, so she said bluntly: "The director just said that we will prioritize the selection based on this round's ranking. Does what we said before still count?"
"Of course it counts."
Lin Zhixing smiled and nodded, then asked, "If we are to partner up together, Sister Jiawei, can you sing my song? I have a song that I think is especially suitable for you and Song Ge to sing together."
"Okay, I was just wondering what song to sing after we become partners!"
Wang Jiawei agreed without hesitation, with a hint of joy in her eyes, and said, "I really like your song 'Little Apple'. My mother even learned the dance moves for the song. I'm so happy to be able to collaborate with you on a new song."
Halfway through her words, she sighed and said, "To be honest, even though I have won first place many times on this stage, I am actually very envious of you guys!"
"ah?"
Lin Zhixing was stunned and asked curiously, "Why?"
"Why."
Wang Jiawei, the invincible devil in the eyes of others, seemed to have shed the disguise of a strong man at this moment. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said weakly: "I have sung many songs, and some of my covers are even more popular with the audience than the originals, but I don't have a representative work of my own. You may not understand this feeling."
As a singer, if you don't have any representative works, it is indeed shameful and you will be looked down upon by your peers.
Singers all respect her, in large part because of her superb singing skills.
Lin Zhixing understood her very well. He opened his mouth to comfort her but didn't know how to start.
Their eyes met, and after a moment of silence, he smiled, patted his chest, and said, "It's okay, your masterpiece will be ready soon!"
Wang Jiawei chuckled, nodded, and gave a thumbs up, "That's great, I believe in your ability. For this masterpiece, I will take first place tonight!"
Hearing such a confident tone, Lin Zhixing felt a little regretful. He seemed to have inadvertently turned the Big Devil into "full force mode".
"Okay, then I look forward to cooperating with you in the charity performance."
Lin Zhixing smiled and nodded, and then the two of them left the stairwell and separated at the corner of the corridor.
"Sister Jiawei!"
Lin Zhixing, who had only taken a few steps, chased back and called out to Wang Jiawei.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Jiawei turned around and asked curiously.
Lin Zhixing smiled and patted his chest, "I will also work hard to get first place tonight!"
…
One hour before kick-off.
There was a knock on the door outside the lounge. Dong Chen opened the door and a group of people in suits walked in. They nodded and greeted each other as soon as they entered the room.
"Hello, Brother Lin!"
"Hello, Brother Lin!"
Zhao Weiwei, who was chatting with Lin Zhixing, exclaimed, pointing at the group of people who came in and greeted them with a smile. Looking at him sitting like a gang leader, she asked curiously: "They must be the band Soul Voice! I watch every episode of "Summer of the Band" and I like them very much."
"Yes, that's them."
Lin Zhixing raised the corners of his mouth. At this moment, he felt that the works he cultivated were recognized, and he felt so comfortable in his heart.
Zhao Weiwei opened her eyes wide and guessed, "You called them here to accompany your singing today, right?"
"Yes."
Lin Zhixing nodded. "Since it's a rock theme, it would be more interesting if it was composed by a band."
Zhao Weiwei gave a thumbs up and said with emotion: "It's true that they train their troops for a thousand days but deploy them only for a moment. The audience will definitely be surprised when they appear! It's also very convenient to have their own band and not have to work with the band of the program group."
"Yes."
Lin Zhixing smiled and said, "If we have a concert in the future, we can save money on hiring a band!"
The Tang Music Band and the Voice of the Heart Band are a perfect combination of Chinese and Western elements.
Zhao Weiwei made a face, "How enviable!"
…
…
Five minutes before the show starts.
In the channel.
Lin Zhixing, the host of the show, frowned as he looked at the order of performance tonight.
The one who performed before him was Iijima Ran, who was good at rock music and invited a band from Japan to perform. The first performance of "Red Lotus" was so explosive that Lin Zhixing was a little apprehensive.
Dong Chen and Ji Yu didn't have good luck today. They were drawn behind the Big Devil. The Big Devil was in full swing tonight, so the singers after her would easily be left out.
Luckily the song they were given was "Xian'er", so the audience probably wouldn't be bored, but the CPU would definitely burn out.
…
Eight o'clock in the evening.
At a gesture from the on-site director, the hall fell silent, and the live broadcast of the sixth episode (Part 2) of "I Am the King of Singers" officially began.
Driven by the popularity of the divine song "Little Apple", a new group of viewers flocked into the live broadcast room, as well as familiar old friends, uncles and aunts.
As soon as the broadcast started, the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room instantly filled the screen.
"First, the sofa!"
"Come on, Lanlan, blow up this stage with your singing today!"
"Jiahe, take the damn first place!"
"I Am the King of Singers cannot exist without Oh Ye Ge, just like basketball cannot exist without trainees!"
…
The stage lights flickered, and amid the enthusiastic applause of the audience, Lin Zhixing, the host, smiled and waved, walked to the center of the stage, and stood under the spotlight.
"Good evening, audience friends, welcome to the live broadcast of the sixth episode of "I Am the King of Singers". Tonight's competition will be very intense, and the loser will leave the stage..."
After some opening remarks, Lin Zhixing picked up the cue card and introduced: "Next, please welcome the first singer Pan Shuai. Everyone, please welcome him with applause!"
Pan Shuai, wearing sunglasses and a studded leather jacket, made a handsome appearance amid applause from the audience.
However, rock songs are not his forte. When he started singing, the first half of the song was OK, but in the second half, the emotions became more intense and he broke his voice.
He was already ranked last in the previous episode, and he made serious mistakes in this episode, which scared his fans.
Singer's waiting room.
When Zhao Weiwei and Yu Jiang saw their opponents made mistakes, the tension in their hearts temporarily relaxed. Although they were not good at rock music either, their confidence increased a little.
…
“Thank you Pan Shuai for the wonderful performance!”
Seeing his former mentor walking back to the corridor dejectedly, Lin Zhixing felt sad. "Next, please welcome Japanese female singer Iijima Ran to sing the song "Blue Bird". Please welcome her with applause!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the song information appeared on the stage screen.
【Bluebird】
【Iijima Ran】
【Lyrics: Yumi Kazama】
[Composer: Reiko Kobayakawa]
【Arranger: Ryoko Murakami】
When her fans learned that she was going to sing this song, they held up their fan signs and screamed, and even Japanese comments were heard in the live broadcast room.
"Wow, so happy, it's my favorite ninja anime theme song!"
“Although this song is not hers, I am looking forward to seeing how it will sound when she sings it!”
"Come on, try to win first place!"
…
Amidst applause from the audience, Ran Iijima, with orange hair and wearing a black leather jacket, came to the center of the stage surrounded by the band.
They wear many complicated and rock-style accessories on their wrists and necks, which are very personal and recognizable.
She began her singing with a cappella followed by the band's accompaniment.
Iijima Ran's high notes are very shocking and penetrating. She fully interprets the unyielding and bloody bloom of fate in the song, and she cooperates with the band very well.
Once again, the scene was ignited as soon as he opened his mouth.
In the channel.
Lin Zhixing frowned when he heard this. She was even stronger this time than in the first stage. It was a bit tricky.
As her singing style changed, she felt unwillingness, pain, and a determination to break free from the shackles and let the clouds and fog dissipate. Climaxes came one after another, and the atmosphere on the scene continued to be high, which was very enjoyable to listen to.
After singing the song, he conquered the audience again.
"This song is so amazing. With her current ability, I'm afraid the original live version is not as good as hers!"
"Awesome! The singers after her will probably be in trouble!"
…
“Thank you Iijima Ran for the wonderful performance!”
Lin Zhixing, who walked onto the stage to announce the show under pressure, glanced at it inadvertently and his eyes suddenly lit up.
There was a cylindrical green light in the center of the stage, which was believed to have fallen after Iijima Ran's performance.
"Now, please welcome the duo Fengqi Wutong to perform the song "Until the End of the World"!"
As soon as he finished speaking, information about the song appeared on the screen.
【Until the End of the World】
[Phoenix perches on the sycamore]
【Lyrics: Lin Zhixing】
【Composition: Lin Zhixing】
【Arranger: Lin Zhixing】
Lin Zhixing came to the center of the stage, and the moment his toes touched the green light, the system prompt sounded.
【bite!】
[Singing skills (high notes) proficiency +2 points. ]
[Currently: High note B (35/50), the current high note capability is - F5. ]
Upgraded! Lin Zhixing showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. It was great to get a huge improvement before the concert. Not only did he regain the confidence he had just lost, but he also increased it sharply.
【bite!】
[System tasks are opened at a medium difficulty level. If you rank in the top three tonight, you will be rewarded with a random song from Earth.]
Top three? I'm going to defend my title tonight!
"Oh hoo, new song is coming!"
“I’ve never heard Oh Ye Ge and Pigeon sing rock music. I’m really looking forward to it!”
The scene and the live broadcast room were full of enthusiasm, but what surprised the audience was that Lin Zhixing actually retreated to the stage aisle after announcing the show.
I was surprised...
A group of musicians in suits and tuxedos came on stage, and some sharp-eyed audience members recognized them instantly.
"It's the Voice of the Heart band! It's Oh Ye Ge's band!"
"Aaaaah! I love them so much, I didn't expect to meet them on this stage!"
"With the accompaniment of our own orchestra, today was absolutely wonderful!"
The audience is discussing...
The Voice of the Soul Band suddenly played a song, the passionate tune was exactly "God of Gamblers' Entrance Song".
As the music started.
Lin Zhixing, dressed in a white suit and with his hair combed back, walked towards the center of the stage with great momentum, accompanied by the beautifully dressed Song Ge.
The audience burst out laughing.
"I'm not laughing anymore. If we want to be funny, it has to be Oh Ye Ge. He even has music when he appears!"
"Okay, okay, you're really good at playing."
"It turns out that band competition was just a prelude to today's appearance. How presumptuous! Hahaha!"
"Our own band presents 'Countdown to Victory', we look forward to winning tonight!"
…
Singer's waiting room.
Guo Jiahe pointed at the screen, staring left and right with eyes wide open in disbelief, as if he was looking for the director to sue Lin Zhixing for cheating.
The other singers were also amused by his actions.
…
On the gorgeous stage, under the spotlight.
Lin Zhixing, holding the standing microphone and preparing his emotions, raised his head and nodded to the orchestra beside him.
An extremely exciting electric guitar prelude suddenly sounded and instantly caught the audience's ears.
In the same year, the song "Until the World Ends" won the honor of being one of the top ten songs of the year in the island country and one million platinum sales. It was also selected as one of the "Top Ten Anime Songs of the Heisei Era in the Island Country" by many media around the world.
The song is a very good pop heavy metal work, with first-class arrangement, first-class guitar and first-class singing. The level of guitar playing and arrangement is no less than that of European and American bands.
Before the song even started, the prelude alone had already set the scene on fire.
The band that accompanied Iijima Ran was dazzled when they heard the prelude of the song. They felt that the musical style was somewhat familiar, and even had a bit of the flavor of home.
When it came to the main song, Lin Zhixing held the microphone with both hands and spoke slowly.
"I have walked alone in the cold forest for too long"
"Like an empty can being thrown away, who cares about the rust in your heart"
He stunned the audience as soon as he opened his mouth. His timbre and singing style were in perfect harmony. The desolate, lonely, and yet unwilling to give up picture of struggling to achieve his goal was presented through his damn charming rock voice.
It can be said that a can of Coke that costs 3 yuan costs 2.9 yuan at the first opening.
“Nice!”
"Oh my god, it sounds unexpectedly good! Oh yeah, is brother so good at singing rock songs?"
Fans who heard Lin Zhixing sing rock songs for the first time felt it was very unexpected and far exceeded their expectations.
"That muddy hillside can end this loneliness"
"Then let's go far away and travel to the distant sky"
Lin Zhixing likes this song very much, especially when he is confused in life or experiencing setbacks in life. When listening to this song, he will ask himself whether he has the courage to pursue his dream to the end.
Singer's waiting room.
“That’s the taste!”
Dong Chen gave a thumbs up in his heart. He heard Lin Zhixing practicing this song a few days ago and he also liked it and tried to sing it.
Lin Ge's emotions are vigorous and powerful, like a tough guy walking along the way and then saying, "Let's go to the end of the world." It makes people feel that they can trust and follow him.
I am like a drunk young man saying, "Let's go to the end of the world." It makes people feel that it would be good enough to be able to walk to the other side of the street, let alone the end of the world.
This song suits him so well.
If I sing this song well, I might really be able to defend my title.
